God, I haven't made a guide for months! Well, here goes. Prussia 1855: forming the German Empire in 30 turns or less
Summary:
1855 is the obvious champion of Rushing Conquests in BJ's mod. With all but 4 nations on 1 side, and those 4 nations in 1 area of the map, it is a great place to Rush. I have successfully finished it in 29 turns with 8000/3300/9800, or 31 turns with 9100/3500/9700 but could undoubtedly have done better had I remembered to upgrade my cities earlier on, or had I been further on in Conquest. That is to say, Prussia 1855 would work well for Lan and Victoria. Before I go on, I must say that Erich von Manstein gave me the idea, having stated that it looks like it can work.
What you need:
1 Artillery General (Isabela for me, Brzhozovski aka Carbon Moreau works well too)
1 Cavalry General (Bojna aka Carbon Radetzky for me)
1 Artillery/Cavalry (preferably Artillery, Sophia for me)
How:
First, you need to form 3 army groups.
Army Group North: Isabela, Lettow/Carbon Bulow, Line Infantry Northeast of Berlin
Army Group Centre: Bojna, troops near Poznan
Army Group South: Sophia, Shicklgruber/Carbon Blucher, any troops west of Berlin
Like so:
Note: The Yellow Circle denotes the unit you would put a Cav General on if you use one for Army Group South
Now that you've got that, to battle:
Battle of Königgrätz:
Send Army Group South in a Southeasterly direction. First, it should take Prague. Then, it will move to Vienna, Budapest, and finally Debrecen and Belgrade. Italy can fend off Austria's invasion force, so you just need to keep moving Southeast
Polish Campaign:
Send Army Group Centre to Warsaw. Once it has taken that city, send it to Lviv, then Iasi, then Kishinev. From there, it will either head to Odessa or to Bucharest, depending on the success of Königgrätz.
Operation Barbarossa:
By the time Army Group Centre has moved to the Danubian Principalities, Army Group North should have reached Warsaw. From there, it will move to Vilnuis and Minsk, then Vyasma, then Moscow. After this, it will send a small force to the Baltic shore to mop up, while heading South towards Ryazan.
Southeastern Strangulation:
Army Group Centre, by seizing Moldavia, cut off Romania, allowing an easy win to Army Group South. After said win, the two Army Groups will unite to attack Kharkhiv, Odessa, Sevastopol, and points east
Cleanup:
Guards from Vyasma, a Rocket from Vilnuis, and Guards Cav from East Prussia to the Baltic shore. Troops to Kiev from anywhere there's surplus. Light Cav from Fryazino to Voronezh, everything else scatters to wherever it is needed.

Conclusion:
So congratulations! You've formed Großdeutschland (Greater Germany) in 30 turns or less. Pat yourself on the back, and get some Bratwurst.
